After the smooth flex of Bad Boy in August, Nigerian singer and rapper Cheque is back with his second release of the year, Desperado, a song that captures the restless ambition and divine drive of a generation that refuses to settle.
On Desperado, Cheque moves like a man possessed by purpose. Built on a foundation of hard-hitting Afro-fusion drums and lush melodies, the record vibrates with confidence and clarity, “God bless my hustle / Never settle,” a line that perfectly sums up the artist’s unbending spirit. It’s Cheque at his most focused: daring, unafraid, and dripping in self-assurance.
Speaking on the track, Cheque describes Desperado as “the anthem for anyone chasing greatness, no matter the odds.” It’s the soundtrack to late nights, bold dreams, and the belief that even when the world doubts you, your light must shine.
From the man who gave us genre-defining hits like Zoom and LOML, Desperado finds Cheque expanding his sonic vocabulary, blending smooth lyricism with futuristic production that echoes ambition, luxury, and liberation. It’s music for the visionary, for those who live in the fast lane, but still pause to celebrate every win.
